DATE 06/20/2024
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Soren Fajeau, Public Works Director
SUBJECT    Overview of the draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan and majority of capital projects
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Since the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Overview was presented to the City Council in January 2024, staff has completed an evaluation and ranking of all projects submitted for consideration and available fund balance estimates have been revised based on updated revenue projections.  Staff will present to the City Council its 2024-2026 CIP project funding recommendations and a draft of the 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document that includes an overview of the project selection process, summary of financing sources and funded projects, revenue estimates, future funding needs and project descriptions for a majority of the proposed projects.

Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation, accept public input, and provide feedback on the projects being presented for staff to incorporate into the 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan that will be presented to City Council for final adoption with the Biennial Budget on June 27, 2024.

BACKGROUND
As part of the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) preparation, the Public Works Department is coordinating the development of the CIP budget component. The general purpose of the CIP component of each biennial budget is to identify and prioritize capital improvement projects for potential funding.  Projects can include street, park, and building construction as well as specific maintenance projects for existing infrastructure.  Feasibility studies and master plans to help identify and quantify future projects are also typically included in the CIP, along with new equipment purchases greater than $10,000.

The CIP development process commenced in November 2023 with a call for projects to all City departments and members of the City Council.  An overview of the CIP process, a summary of the majority of the projects submitted for consideration, prioritization criteria for project selection, and available funding sources were presented to the City Council as an informational item in January 2024. Since then, staff has completed a detailed evaluation and ranking of all projects submitted for the City Council’s consideration.  The following describes the overall process for selecting Packet Page 3
Council’s consideration.  The following describes the overall process for selecting project funding recommendations.

Critical Issues
Projects submitted for consideration must satisfy at least one of the following five critical issues identified in the City’s Strategic Plan:

Public Safety Services - Provide a level of public safety services that will protect our community members, property, and community assets.

Education - Support, encourage and offer opportunities and programs that facilitate quality community education.

Quality of Life - Provide programs, services, and facilities that make Newark a desirable and healthy place to live.

Community Development – Make development decisions that maintain a vibrant, balanced, quality community.

City Government Operations – Operate a City government that enables the organization to meet the service demands of the community.

Priority Levels
Projects were then categorized into three priority levels:

Priority Level 1 (Mandatory): Projects that meet a federal, state, or local legal or regulatory requirement, satisfy a critical risk management issue to ensure public safety, or serve to preserve and protect the City’s existing assets and public infrastructure.

Priority Level 2 (Necessary): Projects that are considered necessary but not mandatory as they would not clearly address a critical legal, safety, or asset-protection need.

Projects at this level could be funded by a consensus priority opinion of the City Council for the benefit of the community.  This can also include projects that would provide a local match for outside funding sources, provide a definitive service level increase, or would complete the final phase of a multi-phased project.  Feasibility studies and master plans are also typically categorized as Priority Level 2.

Priority Level 3 (Desirable): All other projects that do not satisfy Level 1 or Level 2 criteria.

Immediate Need
In addition to these primary Priority Levels, projects were also evaluated based on the extent of the immediate need to help finalize recommendations for funding.  For example, there could be projects that are needed to preserve an existing asset and are listed as Priority Level 1, but the need may be three to five years into the future rather than immediate.   Within the context of the identified Priority Levels, projects were evaluated for immediate need based on the following criteria:

Repair or replacement of assets that have reached the end of their useful life and Packet Page 4
either compromise public safety or experience a high level of public use Repair or replacement of assets that would otherwise prevent more expensive repair or replacement in the future
Projects for which the design has been previously funded and will be ready for construction during the upcoming biennial budget cycle
Projects which are partially funded by outside grant funds and will be ready for construction during the upcoming biennial budget cycle
Maintenance Impact
Staffing constraints and maintenance impacts are also an important consideration in the selection of projects.  Regardless of funding availability, there is a limit to the number of projects which can be designed and/or constructed in a single year due to staffing constraints in the Engineering and Maintenance Divisions of the Public Works Department.  Projects must be evaluated based on the resulting long-term maintenance needs following completion.

Project Funding
The availability of funding is the final major factor in establishing project funding recommendations. The City has the following major sources of funding for capital improvement projects:

Gas Taxes.  Gas Taxes is a broad category of funding that primarily consists of ongoing direct local distribution of funds through the State of California Highway Users Tax Account, the State Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account, Measure BB Transportation Sales Tax, and Vehicle Registration funds through the Alameda County Transportation Commission.  The City typically utilizes these funds for ongoing street maintenance programs that include pavement resurfacing; curb, gutter and sidewalk replacement; street tree maintenance; traffic calming measures; and other street maintenance needs.  The City currently receives approximately $4.3 million per year through these sources.

Capital Funds.  Capital Funds can be utilized for any type of project and are typically generated through budget surpluses and transfers from the General Fund or other major fund sources.

Community Development Maintenance Fund.  This fund is a resource for conducting feasibility studies, master plans, or other projects that directly support the City’s General Plan.

Park Impact Fees.  Park Impact Fees can be utilized to acquire new park land and to complete improvement projects at existing parks.

Development Impact Fees.  This category of funding includes Public Safety Impact Fees, Community Service Impact Fees, and Traffic Impact Fees.  These funds can be utilized when a project-specific nexus has been identified for the respective impact fee category.

Outside Transportation and Other Grant Funding.  Staff is regularly pursuing Packet Page 5
opportunities for discretionary funding from various federal, state and regional resources for transportation, parks and other types of projects.  Outside grant funding for larger projects is essential for preserving local funds in each of the categories above.

Master Plans In Progress
The City currently has several master plan studies underway, which, upon completion, will each include extensive recommendations for future project funding needs.  These master plans include the following:

Active Transportation Plan (an update to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan) Broadband Master Plan
Citywide Parks Master Plan update
Climate Action Plan update
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan update
Facilities Master Plan
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Public Art Master Plan update
Sea Level Rise Assessment and Adaptation Plan
Technology Master Plan
Urban Forest Master Plan
All of these plans are either planned or currently in progress and many are scheduled for completion later this calendar year.  As these plans are finalized, the Capital Improvement Plan should be revisited to assess funding priorities.

Current Backlog of Projects
There is a significant backlog of funded projects that are not yet completed.  While most of these projects are underway and being actively worked on by staff, many projects are still in the planning stage.  There is a need for additional project management support for building maintenance projects and parks projects as well as design services.  Staff is currently working to obtain additional contractual support services in these areas to deliver these projects and staff will provide funding recommendations for these services during the meeting.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff will provide an overview of its CIP project funding recommendations for a majority of projects based on updated fund balance projections. The overview includes a majority of projects, with potentially other projects to be presented at a later date as a result of certain City Council conflicts. CIP projects have been separated into different categories based on the nature of the projects and recommended funding source.

However, this does not preclude other revenue sources from potentially being used to fund projects included in the CIP.

Gas Tax funded projects. Based on updated revenue projections, the anticipated Gas Tax revenue for the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget cycle is approximately $8.75 million, which reflects a decrease of 6% from the $9.3 million projected during the CIP General Overview presentation to the City Council in January 2024. However, after the reconciliation of completed projects and identifying projects previously approved in the Packet Page 6
CIP that are no longer required, staff has identified approximately $4.65 million of additional available Gas Tax funds, bringing the available Gas Tax fund balance to approximately $13.4 million for the next two-year period.

In addition, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) recently programmed $15 million of Regional Measure 3 (RM3) funds to the City of Newark for use towards the construction of projects within the Dumbarton Corridor, which includes several of the projects that are currently included in the CIP as unfunded projects or were submitted for funding consideration with the 2024-2026 CIP.  All of these projects will need to be considered by the City Council for full funding of the construction phase at a future date and incorporated into the CIP at that time. This additional regional funding would allow the City to minimize the use of Gas Tax funds as matching requirements for larger projects and therefore create more opportunities for the completion of pavement maintenance on local streets and other local standalone projects.

Staff is recommending $9.8 million for the City’s street pavement maintenance, concrete repair, street tree maintenance, and other ongoing citywide street maintenance programs that are funded with outside gas tax resources.  This includes a recommended increase in the City’s annual pavement maintenance program from approximately $2.5 million per year to $4.0 million per year.   The remaining $900,000 is for ongoing citywide work as needed for:
•    Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Replacement
•    Street Tree Maintenance
•    Traffic Calming Measures
•    Citywide Accessible Pedestrian Ramps
•    Thermoplastic Street Striping
Newark’s current overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 72 on a scale of 0-100.

This reflects a one-point drop from a PCI of 73 in 2022.  The latest Citywide Pavement Management Report estimates that at the current annual funding level of $2.5 million per year, the City’s overall PCI will drop to 69 in five years.  The Report further estimates that an estimated annual pavement maintenance budget of $4.0 million will be required over the next 5 years to maintain the City’s overall PCI at its current level of 72 and approximately $5.5 million per year over the next five years to return the City’s overall PCI to a desired level of 75.

With the other major paving projects anticipated to take place over the next few years with the use of outside funding, Newark can expect an additional overall increase to the Citywide PCI of approximately two points.  Again, these projects are being funded with outside federal, state and regional grants which allow for increased expenditures of Gas Tax revenue on local streets.

In addition to annual street maintenance projects, staff is recommending $1.2 million to fund the construction of standalone street improvement projects which were previously funded through the initial design phase only.  These projects include additional funding for the Cherry Street and Mowry Avenue Median Modifications, and the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Installations on Newark Boulevard (at Brittany Avenue/Ruschin Drive) and on Cedar Boulevard (at Milani Avenue).

Packet Page 7
Descriptions for the projects listed in the Gas Tax Funds table below can be found in the attached Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document on the page numbers listed. The total list of projects recommended for Gas Tax funding is as follows:

The recommended list of gas tax-funded projects totals $11,000,000. With the total Gas Tax Fund Balance of $13,400,000, this would leave a Gas Tax fund balance of $2,400,000 at the end of the 2024-2026 budget cycle.  Staff recommends reserving this remaining fund balance for unanticipated expenses, matching funds for additional outside funding resources, or for other potentially important Gas Tax projects that may emerge.

Staff recommends deferring design development and construction of sidewalk and median landscape improvements on Central Avenue until the construction of the Central Avenue Railroad Overpass project is well underway.  This area will be congested with detoured traffic during the construction phase of the overpass project and additional projects under construction simultaneously should be limited.

Capital Fund projects.   After final reconciliation of the Newark Civic Center project and the identification of projects previously approved in the CIP that are now completed or are no longer required, the estimated available Capital Fund balance for the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget is $5.25 million. Staff recommends funding projects totaling approximately $4.4 million, which would leave a remaining unallocated fund balance of approximately $850,000.  Staff recommends that this balance be maintained for contractual services for project management support to deliver the backlog of building maintenance and landscape projects. The new project submissions recommended for funding utilizing Capital Funds are as follows (project descriptions for individual projects can be found in the attached Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document on the page numbers listed):

Packet Page 8
In addition, staff recommends funding the following previously unfunded Capital Fund projects that departments resubmitted for consideration (project descriptions for individual projects can be found in the attached Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document on the page numbers listed):

The recommended Capital Fund project total is $4,396,000 in estimated costs for the two-year cycle.

The following new submitted projects and projects previously unfunded and re-submitted for consideration during this two-year cycle are not recommended for funding at this time (project descriptions for individual projects can be found in the attached Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document on the page numbers listed):

Packet Page 9
Community Development Maintenance Fund projects. Community Development Maintenance Funds may be used to pay for feasibility studies or master plans.  The estimated fund balance for Community Development Maintenance Funds beginning July 1, 2024 is approximately $3.7 million.

The following studies are recommended for funding with Community Development Maintenance Funds (project descriptions for individual projects can be found in the attached Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan budget document on the page numbers listed):

The proposed projects totaling $2.2 million would leave $1.5 million remaining in the Community Development Maintenance Fee Fund.

Park Impact Fee projects. The current unappropriated fund balance is approximately $5.8 million. There are no additional park projects recommended for funding at this time. Staff recommends that the City Council receive and consider the findings associated with the Citywide Parks Master Plan Update prior to making any decisions on funding future projects. This study is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2024.

After discussion of the projects, staff will solicit feedback on the Draft 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan that includes an overview of the project selection process, summary of financing sources and funded projects, revenue estimates, future funding needs and project descriptions. A final 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Plan will be developed and included in the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget for City Council approval.

The City of Newark’s two-year budget is
comprised of the Biennial Budget, the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and the
Five-Year Forecast. In preparing the CIP,
the Five-Year Forecast provides significant
guidance by establishing priorities for the
City, identifying special needs, and
establishing the future direction of the City.

The purpose of the Biennial Capital
Improvement Plan is to identify and
prioritize capital improvement projects for
funding. Capital improvement projects
include street and park construction and
rehabilitation projects, construction and/or
repairs to City facilities, acquisitions of new
equipment that are not part of a
department’s operating budget, feasibility
studies to identify and quantify future
projects, and major equipment purchases.

By their nature, capital improvement
projects generally tend to be special, onetime “events” designed to address a significant community need. Major capital
projects can often take several years to
complete, with both funding and
construction planned in several specific
phases.

Some CIP projects result in additional
operating and maintenance costs after
completion of the project, while others may
result in reduced maintenance costs. For
example, a street improvement project can
reduce future street maintenance costs for a
period of time after completion of the
project. On the other hand, construction of
a new recreational facility will likely result
in additional maintenance and operating
costs; however, some of those costs may be
offset by new revenues from the facility.

All these factors must be carefully
considered when prioritizing projects for
funding.

CIP PROJECTS
Generally, all projects which involve
expenditures of $10,000 or more, are
included in the CIP. There are some special
types of projects or purchases costing more
than $10,000 that are not included in the
CIP. Such projects include equipment
normally replaced through the Equipment
Replacement fund, such as the routine
vehicle replacement program, and leasing
of property or vehicles.

THE CIP PROCESS
As part of the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget
and Capital Improvement Plan preparation,
the Public Works Department coordinates
the development of the CIP budget
component. The process of developing the
CIP begins with the preparation of a list of
potential projects. These projects are
generally submitted by the City Council
and staff in response to a call for projects
request. In some instances, residents have
also made requests for desired projects.

After an initial review by the Executive
Team, detailed descriptions and cost
estimates are prepared for each project
chosen for further consideration. Possible
funding sources are also identified. This
information is then synthesized into an
initial comprehensive listing of all projects –
new proposed projects, previously
approved and funded projects, and
unfunded projects. After this information
has been quantified, all projects are
reviewed and prioritized by staff and then
provided as recommendations to the City
Council.

Several major factors were considered while
selecting projects for the 2024-2025 and
2025-2026 budget years: (1) evaluation of
Critical Issues; (2) available funding sources
and the need for maintaining sufficient unallocated reserves; (3) staffing constraints and maintenance impacts; (4) project priority level criteria; and (5) immediacy of project need.
(1) Evaluation of Critical Issues previously
identified by the Executive Team
Critical Issues are used to help guide the
selection of projects - Public Safety Services,
Education, Quality of Life, Community
Development and City Government
Operations. These Critical Issues are
summarized below:

(2) Available funding sources and the need
for maintaining sufficient unallocated
reserves
All potential projects were evaluated based
on the availability of funding sources. Gas
tax revenues are the primary source of
funds for street maintenance and
improvement projects. The major source for
most other capital projects is the Capital
Improvement Fund. Development Impact
Fees, which are assessed to new private
developments, are a component of Capital
Funds but can only be used on specific
projects where a nexus is established
between development and the individual
project. The majority of the funds for
capital projects are derived from
unallocated General Funds. These are
discretionary funds that may be used on
any project. A complete list of funding
sources is provided on the following pages
and a revenue estimate summary is
provided on page 211.
(3) Staffing constraints and maintenance
impacts
Regardless of funding availability, there is a
limit to the number of projects which can be
designed and/or constructed in a single
year due to staffing constraints. Projects
also must be evaluated based on the
resulting long-term maintenance needs
following completion. A project should not
be built (or equipment purchased) if there
are inadequate resources for operations and
maintenance.
(4) Priority Level Criteria
Three priority levels are defined to assist
with project prioritization and include Level
One, Level Two, and Level Three.

Priority Level One projects are of the
highest priority and are considered
mandatory. Level One projects are those
being driven by a legal or regulatory
requirement, are needed to meet a safety
obligation or minimize a liability risk, or
serve to preserve the City’s existing assets
and infrastructure.

Critical Issues
Public Safety Services - Provide a level
of public safety services that will protect
our community members, property, and
community assets.

Education - Support, encourage, and
offer opportunities and programs that
facilitate quality community education.

Quality of Life - Provide programs,
services, and facilities that make Newark
a desirable and healthy place to live.

Community Development - Make
development decisions that maintain a
vibrant, balanced, quality community.

City Government Operations - Operate
a City government that enables the
organization to meet service demands of
the community.

Packet Page 47

Priority Level Two projects are considered
necessary projects, but do not satisfy Level
One criteria. A project could be ranked at
Level Two if there is a consensus by the
City Council that it should be funded.

Other Level Two criteria includes: projects
that demand local funding in order to
obtain an outside funding source; projects
that provide a needed service level increase;
projects for completion of a feasibility study
or master plan that would assist with
defining and prioritizing one or more
projects or other community needs; and
projects that are needed to complete a final
phase of a multi-phased project.

Priority Level Three projects are those that
are considered desirable, but do not fully
satisfy Level One or Level Two criteria at
the time of evaluation.
(5) Immediacy of Project Needs
In addition to these primary Priority Levels,
projects were also evaluated based on the
extent of the immediate need to help
finalize recommendations for funding. For
example, there could be projects that are
needed to preserve an existing asset and are
listed as Priority Level One, but the need
may be three to five years into the future
rather than immediate.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
State law requires that the Planning
Commission review the CIP projects for
conformance with the General Plan. This
review is completed prior to formal City
Council adoption of the CIP.

MULTI-YEAR PROJECT FUNDING
Unlike some communities, Newark does
not normally budget funds over multiple
years toward the future construction of
specific projects. Instead, unbudgeted
Capital Funds are held in reserve and
applied toward a project upon
accumulation of sufficient funds to
complete a project or phase. Still, there are
projects which are phased over a number of
years to accommodate design and
construction requirements and other
factors.

FINANCING SOURCES AND

ALTERNATIVES
Capital funds, Gas Tax funds, and Park
Impact funds all represent “pay-as-you-go”
financing. Generally, this type of financing
is used to minimize interest and financing
costs. However, for some projects, longterm financing is either necessary or preferred.

Packet Page 48
197

SUMMARY OF FINANCING SOURCES

ACCUMULATED
FEES
Accumulated Fees can only be used for the specific purpose provided for in the Fee Schedule.

CAPITAL FUNDS
Capital funds can be used to fund any capital project. However, since Capital funds are derived from the General Fund, their use is discouraged if other fund sources are available.

DEVELOPMENT

IMPACT FEES
Development Impact Fees can only be used for specific capital projects. There is a maximum allocation per project based on the type of capital project.

GAS TAX FUNDS
Gas Tax funds can only be used for expenses related to street construction, maintenance, or design. This funding category includes state gas tax subventions, Measure B and Measure BB revenues, Traffic Congestion Relief Funds (Proposition 42), Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee funds, and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA/SB1) Funds.

GRANTS
CDBG*
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) funds can only be used for projects within the designated CDBG Target Area. They can be used for street construction, community centers, etc.

Federal
Transportation
Act*
Funding from the Federal Transportation Act reauthorization (previously the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: a Legacy for Users, “SAFETEA-LU,” and the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century, “TEA 21”) can only be used for construction projects on eligible streets.

HSIP* The Federally funded Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is for specific traffic safety projects.

HWY-RR Grade
Separation
Program*
State Highway-Railroad Grade Separation Program funds can be used for grade separation projects.

SRTS/SR2S*
State (SRTS) and Federal (SR2S) Safe Routes to School funds can be used to correct identified safety hazards on school routes to promote walking/biking to schools.

Stimulus
Programs*
Federal economic stimulus funds have uses and constraints specific to each individual program. Transportation-related stimulus funding typically has constraints similar to the current Federal Transportation Act.

STIP*
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds can be used for capital projects that improve transportation. Funding is split 75%/25% between the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).

TDA* Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3 funds can only be used to construct bike and pedestrian projects.

SUMMARY OF FINANCING SOURCES (continued)

PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Park Impact Fees
Park Impact Fees are collected with each new residential single- or multifamily development. Local Park Impact Fee funds can be used for park construction projects for a neighborhood park within the area where the development responsible for the funds is located or for community parks.

Regional Open
Space, Wildlife,
Shoreline, and
Parks Bond
Extension*
Funding through the Regional Open Space, Wildlife, Shoreline, and Parks Bond Extension (Measure WW) must be used on park construction projects. *Allocated to agencies on a competitive process or on the basis of population.

ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION
An alphabetical arrangement by project title
has been used as the organizational basis
for project lists and descriptions in the CIP.

Project descriptions include important data,
including:

Critical Issue – Each CIP project has been
evaluated against the Critical Issues
previously identified by the Executive
Team. The Critical Issue addressed by a
project is listed.

Funding Source – This entry indicates the
general funding source which can or will be
used to fund this particular project.

Estimated Cost – This figure is the
estimated cost for completing the project or
this phase of the project, including
contingencies. In some cases, design costs
are included in this figure if outside
consultants will be used for preparing plans
and specifications. This estimate does not
include ongoing maintenance and/or
operating expenses. Cost estimates are
adjusted over time to reflect inflation when
required. If the project scope changes after
adoption of the CIP, the project budget may
also need to be adjusted.

Operating Impact – Certain projects can
result in an operational savings over time,
while other projects may result in additional
operating costs, such as additional staffing
and/or maintenance. This section provides
a general indication of the range of
additional anticipated operating costs.

Possible entries for this field include: Cost
Savings; No Significant Impact; Minor Impact;
Moderate Impact; Significant Permanent
Impact; and To be Determined.

A “Moderate Impact” may involve
additional maintenance or operational costs,
while a “Significant Permanent Impact”
normally involves additional staffing,
together with increased
maintenance/operational costs.

Priority Level – This entry indicates Level
One (Mandatory), Level Two (Necessary),
or Level Three (Desirable) priority level as
defined previously.

Implementing Department – This entry
indicates the department responsible for
implementing the project once funded.

Contact – This entry lists the individual
responsible for implementing the project
once funded.

Year First Proposed – This entry will
indicate the year each project first appeared
in the CIP.

Year Funded – This entry will indicate
which year, if any, funding was approved.

PROJECT LISTS FOR 2024-2025 AND 2025-
2026
As noted in the Estimate of Future Funding
Needs beginning on Page 205, there are 46
unfunded projects with a combined
estimate cost of $101,645,000. It should be
noted that the estimated costs of some
unfunded projects have not yet been
determined due to undefined project
constraints.

Based on the major factors and constraints
listed above, 47 projects were selected for
funding this biennial budget cycle at a total
estimated cost of $17,596,000.

A LOOK FORWARD
Forecasting future funding availability and
needs is an inexact science at best. The
conservative approach to forecasting future
funding availability assumes modest
growth to projected gas tax revenues and no
significant changes to projected Capital
Fund revenue and other sources. Staff is
continuously monitoring evolving
projections for State and local gas tax
revenues. These projections are reflected in
the table entitled Revenue Estimate Summary
on the following page.

Although future funding needs can be
predicted by roughly prioritizing unfunded
projects already in the CIP, such forecasting
is often later upset by changing priorities
and unexpected needs. The cost of certain
identified projects is often unknown prior to
the completion of a needs study or
preliminary design. Even so, it is still
important to develop a general plan for
implementing major capital projects.

In order to continue to prioritize future
funding of the City’s project needs, the
following prioritization factors should be
considered:

Need Driven – The target date for some
projects is driven by an identified need. For
example, the replacement of the City
Administration Building was driven by the
need to replace an aging facility to
accommodate employees and related City
activities. A specific target date might be
set based on anticipated future space needs
or elimination of increasing and excessive
building maintenance costs.

Regulation/Law Driven – Some projects,
such as wheelchair ramp modifications, are
required as a result of changes in standards
or regulations or as the result of new
Federal or State laws.

Opportunity Driven – The target date for
the construction of some projects is driven
by an associated opportunity. The
availability of a State park grant might
allow completion of desired park
improvements.

Funding Driven – The target date for
construction of other projects may be
governed by available funding or funding
factors. For example, the target date for
construction of a particular project might be
tied to accumulation of the capital costs or
the ability to fund future operating costs.

Funding Source Driven – The construction
of specific projects which are eligible for
grant funds will be dictated by the
availability of those grant funds. For
example, Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds can be used for capital
projects in the Target Area. The timing for
their use will be governed by the
availability of those funds.

Relationship Driven – There are certain
types of projects which are dependent on
the timing of other related projects. For
example, the construction of a new
community center could allow for the
Senior Center to be moved into that
amenity, freeing use of the Senior Center for
other purposes.

Community Driven – Certain projects are
desired to improve the quality of life of
Newark residents and are not necessarily
tied to external factors. An example is the
Newark Skate Park. The target for
construction of such projects is thus driven
by a desire to improve the quality of life of
our residents and the City Council’s
priorities rather than outside influences.

Phasing Opportunities – Certain projects,
such as street maintenance projects, can
sometimes be completed in phases.

The City is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 18,000 trees, including approximately 13,000 street trees. The majority of street trees (9,600) are nearing maturity and are over 15 feet tall.

This proposed capital purchase includes a truck equipped with utility boxes and a hydraulicallyactuated aerial lift. This equipment will enable the City to respond to residents in a more timely manner and save money by removing unsafe hanging branches within one working day, removing unsafe trees, pruning street trees to facilitate street maintenance activities such as street sweeping and respond to other pruning requests such as street light, traffic signal and/or sign clearances.

Other uses for this equipment could include low-level park lighting maintenance, installation of Christmas lights and, if appropriate, emergency traffic signal maintenance. Currently, the City is spending in excess of $20,000 for emergency contract services. The life expectancy for this equipment is 15-20 years.

The current standard for storm water inlets (or catch basins) includes a fabricated steel grate design to allow as much water as possible into the inlet and yet prevent bike tires from dropping through.

Older inlets in the City typically have a cast iron grate, which have smaller openings and tend to clog. Also, removal of these heavy cast iron grates for both routine and emergency cleaning generally requires at least two maintenance workers. The City has a total of 91 cast iron inlet grates.

This project is part of the phased program to replace the cast iron grates with the steel grates. This first phase will replace approximately 15-25 catch basins.

The Police Department has not conducted formalized training in the area of deployment of forcible entry – breaching tools for officers that have not worked as part of the Department’s SWAT team during recent years.

Department staff believes that in order to improve response times for needed use of forcible entry - breaching tools, such as door rams, Halligan tools and bolt cutters at rapidly evolving emergency scenes (such as active shooters and other emergency rescue situations that may not be safe for other first responders) it would be beneficial for the Department to acquire and deploy additional breaching tools in the field at a fleet-wide level.

Although the use of such breaching tools may seem intuitive, further ensuring formalized training of officers who have not formally experienced the breaching training received by SWAT officers would ensure all officers are familiar with the appropriate deployment of breaching tools. Hence improving overall safety during resolution of incidents and reducing the incidence of injury.

In order to best accomplish the formalized training for both tenured and incoming personnel, staff also recommends the acquisition of a breaching - forcible entry training door.

A feasibility study assessing rental housing stock in the City of Newark and determining the need for a Rental Inspection program. This study will also prescribe funding sources and implementation of the program, which is expected to be a cost-recovery model funded by licensing or permitting costs paid by property owners who are part of the program, assess if current staffing levels will support such a program, and determine the cadence of proactive inspections. The cadence of the inspections may be determined by items such as the age of the building, number of units, permit history, and a history of complaints.

Owners of rental properties are responsible for maintaining their buildings in compliance with minimum housing standards. Newark currently depends on complaints from tenants to investigate allegations of substandard housing. Often, these investigations result in finding violations that impact not only the initial tenant but also the health and safety of all the occupants. Tenants are often hesitant to report substandard housing conditions for fear of retaliation, up to and including eviction.

A proactive inspection program would allow Newark to inspect rental stock to ensure they meet minimum housing standards and that all building maintenance and repairs are done in accordance with current building codes. A proactive inspection program ensures our residents are afforded a clean, safe, and healthy place to live.

Vehicle pursuit intervention devices can help in tracking individuals in vehicles who choose to evade law enforcement. The desired system is a pursuit management technology that contains a miniature GPS tag and a launcher mounted on a police vehicle. A compressed-air launcher, mounted behind the grille of a patrol vehicle, uses a laser system to target the fleeing vehicle. There is also an option for handheld launchers. Both platforms deploy a GPS tag onto a suspect vehicle which allows for real time monitoring.

The technology would be installed onto four patrol vehicles and would thus be deployed throughout the City of Newark.

Once the GPS Tag is launched, dispatchers and personnel can view the location and movements of the wanted vehicle in real-time on a secure, web-based mapping portal. In addition to accurate mapping, critical information including travel direction, speed, and traffic activity is transmitted every three to five seconds allowing for knowledge of suspect vehicle movements. The purpose of vehicle pursuit intervention devices is to track and ultimately capture a suspect vehicle (and suspect occupant) when a vehicle fails to yield to police officers.
